The story behind the bottle.
Cracheuse de flammes by Serge Lutens is a Floral fragrance for women and men, launched in 2025 and crafted by Christopher Sheldrake. The composition centers around rose, blending its floral intensity with musky and animalic notes that evoke warmth and depth. Leather adds an unexpected layer of complexity, grounding the scent in earthy richness while the florals rise above it like a flame.
Apply two sprays to the pulse points — the floral and musky top notes are immediate but evolve into deeper layers over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than from across a room.
